The young man came to Mayena's divination hall as promised, and now he is sorting out those ancient books that are about to become moldy for Mayena.
Mayena was sitting on the elevated shelf reading a book. It seemed that because the boy was too silent, Mayena put down the book and raised a topic.
"The Frost Witch? You mean the one from the Seven Wicked Witches?"
Of course the young man knew the names of the Seven Wicked Witches, not to mention that he had been "lucky" to meet one of them.
"Well, they are the seven strongest wizards among you humans. Although you humans don't like them very much now, we elves still think highly of these humans."
Different from the current human culture, the elves have always admired magic, not to mention that Mayena herself is also a great elf mage. As the saying goes, magic has no boundaries, and she also admires these seven people who have reached the extreme in their respective magic fields.
Human wizard.
"But they're all dead, so what's there to see?"
The young man had no good impression of the Seven Evil Witches. The only one he had ever seen was the Flame Witch, which directly destroyed the place he had regarded as his home in those two years and took away almost everything from him. If he could master the power, this
Revenge will be avenged sooner or later.
Mayena frowned and said, "Where did you know that they are all dead?"
"Almost everyone I know says that."
The young man also knew that this rumor was not very reliable. After all, according to the legend, the great Hero King Victor chopped off the head of the Flame Witch and hung it on a high pole in the execution ground for a week. However, half a year ago, he saw
We arrived at a witch of fire who was shooting fireballs wantonly in the sky.
Mayena held her forehead and sighed: "Ah... as expected, human beings like to confuse history and legend so much."
"Hey! You guys are firing the map cannon again."
"Humph! Your knowledge is always so shallow."
Mayena snorted, pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose with the middle finger of her right hand, brushed her cheeks with her fingertips, and lifted up a few strands of hair hanging in front of her forehead.
Perhaps it is only when Mayena tidies up her appearance that she will exude the charm of a female elf.
"Whatever you say."
The young man ignored her. He lowered his head and continued to use a brush to brush off the dust on the books in his hand. He then used the Tongyu crystal board to translate the names of the books and place them in categories.
The two fell into a state of silence again, and the only sounds in the small store were the sound of Mayena flipping through books and the rustling sound of the boy sweeping away dust.
Mayena glanced casually at the young man working seriously below, but she felt secretly upset.
Alas, it's not like I'm really short of manpower... I'm just thinking that I'm too bored, so I want this kid to have some fun in the store.
How could I imagine that he was just as fussy as those people? He just kept his head down and did things. Even if he took the initiative to talk to him, he would always get angry for no reason...
"well..."
Mayena sighed lightly and drew a shallow mark on the page with her neatly manicured nails.
But if she doesn't say what she wants in her heart, no one will take the initiative to guess her thoughts. It's not that Mayena doesn't know this, but she can't say anything.
What could she say to this human kid: "Chat with me more, stupid guy."?
This is impossible, she doesn't need to take the initiative to communicate with humble humans.
That kid should have a lot of questions to ask me, whether it's the "Dark Magic Book", prophecies about himself, ways to improve himself... I've already prepared them last night
Okay, but why didn't he come and ask?
This made Mayena very depressed. She had already prepared all kinds of rhetoric in her mind to tease this boy, so as to make today's time more fun.
However, after the boy entered the store, he did not ask Mayena about what she expected, but only asked her about her work today.
In response, Mayena left the task of organizing the 3,300 books on the second floor to him, hoping to hear the boy's complaints.
However, the problem was that this boy ran up to the second floor without saying a word and started working on it. He also asked her how to organize these books and how to maintain them.
As a result, Mayena could only patiently explain to him, and gave him a pair of gloves and a brush to maintain these old books.
After the young man basically understood it, he went into a state of immersed in work and never took the initiative to say a word to her again.
There is nothing else to do in the store, such as cleaning the old store. After getting the boy as a coolie, Mayena has no intention of doing it herself.
So she simply climbed onto the wooden shelf next to the boy, and then picked a book of interest from the upper bookcase to read, while the boy was busy in the pile of books at her feet.
This scene seems to have happened a hundred years ago, and it is difficult for her as a high elf to remember such long-lasting memories. However, she can still remember the scene at that time.
As for the specific reason, Mayena had almost forgotten it. Thinking about it carefully, it was just because it was the first time she saw that guy.
It's just that the position was opposite at that time. When she was pulling out books, she accidentally dropped all the books on the shelf that were packed into thousands of layers of cake. Since this was the Royal Elf Library, as the eldest daughter of the Sisley family, a high elf noble,
As a young lady, she couldn't bring her servants in, so she could only condescend to put back the scattered books on the floor one by one.
There was a guy sitting on the elevated shelf nearby who was reading quietly. At first, Mayena thought he was a high elf noble. When she looked up, she discovered that he was wearing a library armband on his left arm and that he was a library administrator.
.
Hey! That guy above, what are you looking at doing? Come and help!
Mayena wanted to shout at that guy like this, but this was the Elf Royal Library, and no one dared to make a loud noise to get herself on the blacklist. Besides, she was the eldest daughter of the Sisley family, who was known for her self-improvement, and she didn't bother to ask anyone for help.
It’s just a matter of placing a few books, so what’s the problem?
Mayena thought so, but found that these books popped out the moment they were put on the bookshelf, and there was no way to put them on the bookshelf.
The reason is very simple. In order to prevent readers from placing books indiscriminately, the Elf Royal Library has set up book classification magic on each bookshelf. Failure to place books according to categories will only fail.
This forced her to squat on the ground and sort the scattered books one by one.
Just as Mayena was placing her books with a sullen face, the guy closed the black book in his hand and walked down from the elevated shelf step by step.
Mayena looked up at him and thought: Does this servant think of helping just now? Does he think he can still please me at this time? Ridiculous!
Then she looked up, and met those dark eyes. When she looked into these rare eyes, an indescribable feeling spread in her heart.
While she was stunned, the guy's lips that had been tightly closed opened and he said:...
"What happened to the Frost Witch?"
"Huh? Uh? What?"
The young man's crisp voice rang in her ears, and Mayena was stunned. She lowered her head and met the pair of black eyes that were the same as in her memory. She didn't react until she saw the still immature face.
"Say, what happened to the Frost Witch you mentioned before?"
The work at hand had basically come to an end, and when he thought he could almost rest, the boy asked Mayena about the previous topic.
"Ah, are you talking about this? She is the only witch among the seven human witches who has not been killed."
Doesn't this female elf look a little strange? The young man frowned, but continued to ask: "Why didn't you kill her?"
"Do you know her name besides Frost Witch?"
"have no idea."
When the boy said this, he was already prepared to be ridiculed by Mayena.
"The Frost Witch is the 'Ice Princess' Sophia, the daughter of the wizard king Hamudra, and the youngest and most senior among the seven witches."
However, Mayena gave an uncharacteristically direct answer.
"Is it because he was too weak that he didn't kill him?"
He actually has a father-daughter relationship with Hamudra, the leader of the Seven Evil Witches. This information made the young man stunned.
"Wrong, just the opposite."
Mayena closed the page of the book, held her chin with her right hand, and looked down at the boy in the stack of books.
"The reason why she was not killed by your hero king Victor is actually because she is...too strong."
...
The far north, the land of giants.
This tall red giant is Kuishan Giant Xiao, one of the three legendary giants.
Xiao looked down at this short blue-robed human, with a confident smile on his huge face with various carvings. He patted his chest and said: "Brother, if you want to confirm whether the seal is complete, you don't need to
Worry."
"Really? Xiao, where is she now?"
And this blue-robed priest is a legend still alive in the world today - Vosini, the messenger of the gods.
"I put her at the bottom of this pool...Eh? Eh!"
Before Xiao finished speaking, the ground beneath the feet of these two perhaps the most powerful men in the world began to tremble violently.
"I said Lao Gu, what are you doing?"
"Xiao...heavy...uncomfortable...come down..."
The Titan shook its head, intending to throw off the huge thing above its head, even though Xiao was just a child compared to the old Titan's size.
But it is not a comfortable thing for the Titan to have a sky weighing dozens of tons step on his head.
"Okay! Okay! Okay! Lao Gu, your spine is not good, can you stop shaking? I'll come down right away."
Xiao patted his forehead and prepared to jump off the Titan's head.
"I'll go down too, and we'll have a nice chat down there. Goodbye, Coca Endo."
Vosini smiled and left the Titan with Xiao, not forgetting to say goodbye to the Titan.
"goodbye..."
The old Titan lowered his head and glanced at the two little things at his feet, then turned around and crawled back.
"That little ice cube is under this pond. If you want to see her, brother, I will fish her out later."
Kuishan Giant Xiao was walking side by side with the blue-robed priest Vosini by the lakeside. This huge lake was just a big pool for these giants.
"Okay, please."
Vosini nodded, now he really needed to see it with his own eyes.
"Haha, it's okay."
Xiao walked to the lake, moved his arms as thick as a city wall a little, and then plunged into the lake.
The moment the giant fell into the lake, a wave of tens of meters high hit the shore. Vosini, who had already been mentally prepared, once again held up a shield for himself.
Those fish and shrimps that were brought to the shore by the waves and were still alive scrambled to crawl back. However, before the white flying fish closest to the water could touch the water, another huge wave hit them.
"Haha! I actually put it on the crater. Come on! Brother, see if there is any problem."
Kuishan Giant Xiao carried a rectangular blue ice block on his shoulders and ran towards Vosini on the shore.
With a "dong" sound, Xiao placed the big ice block in front of Fusini. After the splashing soil around it fell, the blue-robed priest stepped forward to check the condition of the ice block.
"It seems that there is no problem with the seal."
Standing next to this huge piece of ice will not feel cold. Even ordinary people will only think that this is just an ordinary ice cube with cold air. Of course, this is all due to the dense golden spells on the ice.
, a total of nine layers of sealing spells completely sealed the energy in this piece of ice.
Fusini looked at the vague human girl in the center of the ice and murmured in a very low voice: "We meet again, Sophia."
"Of course, if the little girl here is not honest, I will punch her and she will be honest."
Xiao punched his head in the air on the solid ice, and the terrifying wind left a deep hole in the ground.
It is true that the power of the giants is enough to suppress most disasters in this world, and even the girl in the ice is no exception.
"I saw an emperor squid on the way here. If I remember correctly, it should be the one left in the earthly lake."
Vosini knew that there were still problems here, and it was not enough to rely solely on the giants for the stability of the world.
"Ah, haha, that haha..."
Xiao, who was poked at a painful point, scratched the back of his head with a troubled expression and said: "They dug a hole under this pond. They dug it without telling us for eighteen hundred years and finally dug it through. Now we have to plug the hole."
Of those who escaped, we caught some and killed some, but some of them still managed to escape cleverly, and there was nothing we could do."
"Alas, you are restricted by the agreement and cannot leave the Far North. This is really helpless."
Neither the Titans, Kuishan Giant Xiao, nor other members of the giant race can leave the Far North.
This was agreed back then. The giants are currently not dissatisfied with the current situation, and no one wants to leave this land. They can no longer rely on them to deal with the ancient creatures that have escaped from the far north.
Those ancient creatures that were able to escape from under the eyes of the giants were not good enemies. Vosini was well aware of their power and harm, and there were only a few people outside who could fight against them.
"Those guys shouldn't be able to deal with the little ones outside, right?"
Xiao also knew that these old guys who escaped were not easy to deal with, and some of them were even strong men that he had to deal with carefully. If it weren't for the powerful old Titans guarding this giant territory, those old monsters would
It's already been a big deal.
"You have never committed any murders. Do you still have the strength to seal them one by one now?"
Xiao glanced at Vosini worriedly. He knew that Vosini was no longer in his prime. The power of this unfathomable priest was weakening day by day.
If this priest really dies one day, who will protect the balance of the outside world?
But it doesn't matter, right? For the giants, as long as their last territory is not disturbed, it doesn't matter what kind of chaos the outside world is like.
"So, we need her power."
Vosini stared at the girl in the ice with her eyes closed and her arms hugging her knees, with some helplessness in her peaceful eyes.
"No, isn't it?"
Xiao stared with eyes as big as a bathtub, watching Vosini reach out to touch the ice cube. The moment his right hand touched the countless seal characters on the ice cube, tens of millions of characters collapsed, and the nine layers of seals collapsed.
Layers of brokenness...
"Hey! Boy, it seems to be snowing outside."
Mayena felt a strong chill coming from the north. When she turned around, she found goose-feather-like white snow falling in front of the store.
"Huh? Snowing? Will it snow at this time?"
The boy put down his work and turned to look at the curtain at the entrance of the store. The strong wind was blowing the snowflakes outside into the store.
"Do not you know?"
Mayena, who was not wearing much, hugged her shoulders and shivered. If you are not careful in this sudden change of weather, you may catch a cold.
"This is just a cold wave coming from the far north."
